Quiet Generator

My article is about game cultures, this article talks about how the cultural forces active in game production from three aspects: the economic system, the system of technology and the system of culture.
First of all, it gives some examples to show us the trend for computer games and PlayStation’s development. For example, Sony are major operators in the music and film business, but they are also produce PlayStation for many years. The Sony PSX enables the user to play PS2 games, record TV, copy audio, watch DVDs and connect online.
Beside Sony, Microsoft produce digital product as well. This article indicates that, Bill Gates and his work teams produced Xbox because Microsoft were very threatened by Sony dominance of the domestic digital domain, and computer games business is a powerful revenue generator within the global media and entertainment industries.
Recent technology releases have intensified the drive towards game platforms converging with other forms of media use. Kutaragi the CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment predicted of the PS3: “The next-generation PlayStation will probably take the form of a game box, though it will not be a mere game machine.” In early 2004 Microsoft released the Xbox Music mixer designed to expand the Xbox capabilities from DVD, online connectivity, and audio to karaoke performance. There was a competition between Microsoft and Sony to produce their next consoles. Microsoft have spent millions of dollars to get the Xbox 360 to market before the PS3.

This article also gives a statistics to show us that the games we get are generated by a highly sophisticated, highly capitalized media industry. When you buy a new console game, about 35% of the cover price of a console game goes back to the publisher and developer；as much as 30% stays with the retailer, 10% to the wholesaler and a further 10% on marketing, a final unique 15% on each disc is paid as a royalty to the platform manufacturer, like Sony or Microsoft. The 35% that returns to game publishers and producers there is both a cost and profit component, split roughly 50/50. Because of the longer established and more economically successful than any other digital media sector, more and more Media Studies scholars attend to the games industry.
This article talks about the economic system of game production from three parts, the developers, the publishers and the technologists.
First of all,
It describes the developers’ working environment: an open plan office, filled with young men hooked up to computers, many of them wearing headphones, an air of quiet concentration is broken by the occasional whoop of success. The phone almost never rings; communication is by text or email. Lunch is either sandwiches or cheese toasts. They don’t need to dress up. Their working environment seems more relaxed than any other creative media environment. This might look like it is only a description of a culture; but this culture is a function of economics. Because of such a working environment is in fact a highly systematized form of a new kind of global media enterprise.

(I haven’t finish it yet, i have a presentation tmr afternoon, i am so nervous~ )

I got a new four stroke generator and am looking for a way to quiet it down. its running at about 63 decibles but would like to get it down under sixty

If you were a) jacked up, b) held at gunpoint, or c) politely asked to hand over your firearm as you a) left town, b) went about your business or c) tried to help your neighbors in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, you might be eligible to get your illegally confiscated gun back if you follow the rules established by the court. According to the terms of the permanent injunction against the city, issued in October 2008, the city has to “make an aggressive attempt to return any and all firearms which may have been confiscated during the period August 29 to December 31, 2005.” You can access the information at the city’s webpage. Scroll to the bottom of the page on the right hand side and click the little red box that reads “Hurricane Katrina Firearms.”

According to Assistant City Attorney Victor L. Papai, as of last October only three applicants had turned in paperwork to get their guns back. Papai does not return calls any longer regarding the tally. The city does not have their guns and it only has to comply with the court order until October 2010.

Local tavern owner JoAnn Guidos is one of those applicants. She owns Kajun’s Pub on St. Claude Avenue and boasts that her establishment “never closes” and that people feel safe there because they know that Guidos knows how to use firearms. During the aftermath of Katrina, she kept the pub open for two weeks, running generators and serving ice-cold beer and hot grilled food to the neighborhood, press and visiting law enforcement. Meanwhile, around her, shooters and looters, along with law enforcement, used St. Claude Avenue as the only highway to and from the Lower 9th Ward.

She said, “I didn’t want to evacuate because I didn’t want people to break in and destroy this place. And that’s what happened. They were breaking into houses and then, setting them on fire.” She recalled, “We had firemen and policemen from all over the country here and I told them I was armed and that this was a safe house and they didn’t do nothing. They had no problem. Then, the U.S. Marshals came walking down the street.”

On September 8, 2008, Guidos and friends decided to leave New Orleans. Things had quieted down with the arrival of federal troops, but heat and humidity stayed high. So, since there was no power restored yet to her building, she decided it would be safe to lock the bar and head to Mississippi. While loading the van in front of the bar, she carried her Browning 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun and wore a .38 in her belt. Five U.S. Marshals came driving down St. Claude and stopped half a block away from the pub. They got out of their vehicle and came running toward Guidos and crew with M-16s, yelling “Put the guns down!” Guidos said, “They went right after me. They said to put my hands on the car and then, asked if I had any other guns.” She gave them her other guns and asked for a receipt. They never showed any ID, and they never gave her a receipt.

The scenario gets complicated because one of Guidos’ employees, unbeknownst to her at the time, is a convicted felon and she had loaned him a .25 semi-auto to wear. When the Feds ran the ID checks, they discovered this fact and cuffed the employee and took him away. However, Guidos said the employee only had one of her guns on him, and reiterated, she carried two of them and had packed two of them in the van. The charges against her employee were dismissed in July 2006, in the U.S. District Court Eastern District of Louisiana.

On November 12, 2008, Guidos filed paperwork to get her five guns back and hand-delivered it to a sergeant at a police station on Earhart in New Orleans. By January 2009, when she had not heard anything, she contacted Holliday. He contacted Papai, who told Holliday that he [Papai] already had contacted Guidos by phone and by letter. Holliday then sent Guidos a copy of the letter that Papai claimed to have sent her, dated Oct. 24, 2008 – supposedly written to her three weeks before she turned in her claims. Guidos said, “I found it rather odd that the letter they sent to me in response to my forms was written a month before I turned in my forms.” She says he never called her.

Futhermore, she believes she is caught between two systems: the local police department and the federal law enforcement system. She continued, “This is the question I put to Dan and nobody can give me an answer: Where are my damn guns?

“My weapons were taken by the U.S. Marshals, and supposedly they were in federal custody and I was verbally told that the Feds transferred the weapons to New Orleans, but I cannot find out who transferred them and who received them. … There’s paperwork there somewhere that someone signed for. If I can get a copy of the transfer order, than I can at least either get my weapons back and/or the value back of the weapons [value approx. ,000].”

When asked about Guidos’ predicament, Holliday responded: “I don’t have any information regarding Guidos. Because her situation inv
When asked about Guidos’ predicament, Holliday responded: “I don’t have any information regarding Guidos. Because her situation involved a gun seized as evidence it does not fall under our consent judgment, even now that the charges were dismissed.”

Just wondering if anyone knows how this generators runs and how quiet they are? and will they run a microwave, tv, stereo, etc… What about a/c or is a/c to much for it.

I need a portable generator to power a chainsaw to cut trees and to power tv, light, stove, etc. while on a camping trip.

I am looking for something cheap under 0 and ships to California. For some reason most online retailers don’t ship to CA.

Would this be a choice?

I am doing a research project with birds in which I need to catch them using a spotlight at night and band them. I need a generator to both power the spotlight and to produce background noise so the birds can’t hear the approach. How can you modify a generator to produce more sound?

The establishment of another branch of armed forces to deal with war on energy,"The Energy Force"- To be equal in power to existing branches of armed forces,Army,Navy,Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard.
This new force will be tasked with and funded to convert our nation to a "greener" place. (once operational,designed to be self-funding)EX:
Construction of alternative energy stations nationwide (conversion of existing service stations using oil)Collection of revenues from Green Energy will be The Energy Force’s Job.
All US held automobile manufacturers will be seized and converted by Energy Force to build Electric, Hydrogen fuel cell cars.
The use of Gasoline and petroleum-based fuels will be outlawed and replaced by Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles by 2010.
All troops and diplomats withdrawn from middle east and oil war areas by 2010.
All debts repaid to China and other nations by 2010
Every American Citizen as of 2010 allowed to stay in country with full health care benefits, all others must leave.
My Presidency will legalize marijuana and scientifically exploit all industrial aspects of this plant.
I will lift ban of stem cell research and enthusiastically fund any research that can better mankind’s ability to heal disease.
Any adult in good standing legally can commit to any other adult as they see fit for purposes of marriage in any state or protectorate of the US.
US Energy Force will be responsible for all of the nation’s energy needs, there will no longer be an open market for energy and power, as this will be the sole area of focus for new Force.
Under this authority, all Power companies (Consolidated Edison,etc…) will become the property of the Energy Force. Wind Generators will be constructed nationwide and offshore where wind abound.Solar arrays, wave farms,all viable alternative sources of Energy will be studied and used. All of this infrastructure will be run by enlistees of this new Force.
All teenage students who wish to get a vehicle when they turn 14 may join the Energy Force as early as 10 years old. All Americans who wish to own a vehicle for personal use, must do work for Energy Force to earn a vehicle and a license.
All roads and highways in this country will be outfitted for autopilot as there will be 0 tolerance for automobile accidents,deaths,injuries, etc.
All transportation to be computer controlled and free for all who join Energy Force.
The new jobs in all areas of converting and maintaining new transportation systems will generate millions of jobs.All Commercial and private transportation will be regulated by Energy Force.
In our country, all citizens will be provided with free transportation for any purpose as long as they are a contributing reservist in the Energy Force.

The Energy Force will be set up like conventional military with schools, housing, basic training, full health benefits,recruiting offices and facilities for public education.
Once one joins Energy Force they are a member of that branch of the armed forces until they wish to stop driving or using energy.
Every Us Citizen will be eligible to join the Energy Force, including those who are in jail. It is hoped that many can be released to work towards building new American Energy plan.

If elected President I will make it so the voting age is lowered to and a part of joining Energy Force at 10years old.
Everyone in this country can contribute to a greener country, those who are too old or too feeble to work will be given classes in how to conserve. A Big part of the Energy Force will be using today’s youth to be involved with our elders and disabled in community programs promoting Energy Independence.

I will promote the arts and sciences more than the religious groups, and I WILL welcome all helpful input towards stated goals.

The Energy force will take us out of our troubles and fix things as they should be.
The United States will be free of many bad things if you elect me:
No more electric bills
No more gas bills
No more transportation worries ( all who join Energy Force earns vehicle)
No more traffic accidents ( Road network fixed with Autopilot interface stripes in pavement)
No more Deaths by car
No more highway noise zones near neighborhoods (hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are quiet and clean)
No more failing US Auto Companies
No More Failing Airlines
No more war for oil ( hopefully no more U.S. bullying of oil countries, thus less terrorism etc… World Peace?)
No more oil dependency
No more Gasoline vehicles
No more Greenhouse gases

In my creative writing class at school we’re studying fantasy literature and our project for the next quarter is to write a story based on a published work of fantasy. I have the plot worked out pretty well, but I need a character name; I’ve tried the fantasy name generators, but they come up with really cheesy things. No offense to anyone, but names like "Jadia Wolfspane" and "Seraphim Fellslayer" really don’t work. I’d like a name that sounds relatively normal.

I need a name for my protagonist. Here’s some background information if you need it. The story is based loosely on Harry Potter (I know, possibly the most over-exploited work in the genre). The main character is a fifteen-year old girl (because the project requires that the protagonist be your age) who is a magic school dropout. In the story she has to bring four of her friends into the alternate wizarding world to keep them safe from her enemies while she works on defeating the antagonist evil group with some of her former classmates. Said wizarding world is very similar to that created by JK Rowling, which greatly excites the friends, all of whom have read the books. However, things in this world are just different enough from the Harry Potter books that the friends wind up getting involved with the wrong side, and the story goes from there.

The main character is about five foot two with light brown hair and dark eyes. She’s generally a quiet, sweet, friendly person and gets along with people very well. She has very pale skin with no freckles, and is fairly artistic and whimsical. Alternately, when she is responsible for her friends while they’re in the wizarding world, her personality becomes very dark, severe, and vaguely mysterious; at times she can be almost cruel and is very commanding and militant out of fear for her friends’ lives. She is also a werewolf, able to change into a white wolf at will but will also change involuntarily if her adrenaline spikes suddenly or if she gets too cold.

Anyway, suggestions would be helpful, especially with first names. My ideas for last names include Leidolf, Fenris, Garm, and Maugrim, all of which contain wolf references. Help?

Once upon a time in a low populated neighborhood in Antarctica it was a very quiet and safe place.
All the people were friendly. There were hardly any crimes ever but they’re was sheriffs patrolling the neiborhood and around it was late December. It was very cold it was always cold snow covered the ground all the time everyone knew each other. It was just like any other place but hidden in the most unexpecting place the roads there are un seeable because of the snow.It was a very peacefull town it was almost like the town was too perfect there weren’t that many places to work but you didn’t have to pay bills, or house payments no house markets their elactricy was powered by solar energy and oil from a generator their was plenty of oil so they never run out ever. They weren’t trapped in this place the people their visited their family’s every year once a year for a month all at the same time. Because their was a time in the year where the sun goes out and its dark for a full month.

4 days till darkness month. Anne says’’ I cant believe it this year went by so quick’’ yes it did go bye quick but hey cant wait to see grandma and grandpa right says Marie (Anne’s mom.) ya I cant wait to see them but why cant we have Christmas at our house this year and have them come down here to see us say ann. Mary says consciously ‘‘that is nonsense its to cold here ‘’. Well I’m off to work ma says tom ‘’son wait before you go can you pick up some groceries for me on your way back from work says Maria sure mom says tom and before Maria says goodbye the door is closed and Hes off he gets into his red Chevy pick up and he drives down to the police station to greet his friends and puts on his police uniform and his badge and hat from his locker. Tom is 22 a son of Maria and a brother to Anne. What inspired Tom to become a police officer is the disappearance of his father.
He stays on the case and act secretly as both a cop and a detective by going through the police reports files when everyone leaves the police station.

I own 20 acres of land, it is recreational property well off the beaten path and very rustic. No power or running water other than solar and generator, well and water pump. I can not offer any of the usual conveniences. But I was also thinking on the lines of a doggy park with owner and dog camping and hiking, or just laying about enjoying the peace and quiet of the wilderness. I would have to keep it pretty simple, but that would be the charm of it.
Also our local SPCA at this time has no facilities here to house animals, all must be fostered. I was thinking of contacting them and see if we can work something out.
All the ideas I can get from all of you would be appreciated. I am not looking to get rich, just help out some animals and make a living at the same time.

A lot of the stuff I like is not very popular
That is a huge list Pattern Juggler!

Tom is 22 a son of Maria and a brother to Anne. What inspired Tom to become a police officer is the disappearance of his father.
He stays on the case and act secretly as both a cop and a detective by going through the police reports files when everyone leaves the police station. Today he was caught going through the files without permission and was asked to leave why would they make me leave tom says’’ Ive been working as a police officer for 10 years I should at least be able to know what happened to my father’’

1 days till darkness month. Tom walks in the house a day later quietly and then stumbles into his mom where have you been Have you been lurking around the files again like I told you before we don’t know what happened to your father says Maria. How did you know where I was and please mother if you no anything about it tell me I know you are lying you know what happened!!
Ok I should have told you along time ago Tom but you were to young and you wouldn’t understand
But now your getting older I got to tell you someday well ……do you know how we leave every time of the month of December before darkness month we sent you and your sisters to your grandparent’s house and we stayed here to raise money for charity to send to the children in need. That day when the sun went down and these white paled people took your father and drag him off a cliff and he was buried in the snow and we never saw him again. Tom sighed and said’’ im staying here tomorrow hurry board a plane before they’re booked. Toms mother was shocked and broke out in tears she was worried for her son but believed he would make it and trusted him. The next day Toms mothers and sister Anne left to said goodbye to Tom and wished him luck and left to the airport They were the first their they grabbed their tickets and got into a plane a plane to California
Many others in Antartica were fleeing their homes to the airport. Its 6;30 pm the sun is going down.
Tom knew what he was going up against was not going to be easy to be defeat so he waited patiently he still saw some people left behind cooking in their houses or shoveling snow or fixing their trucks.

The sun is going down slowly Tom is ready for anything it is dark he goes inside and try to turn on the lights but they are not working know ones electricity was working. It seems like every second its getting darker and darker. Tom goes outside and then he sees a person on a roof with a black and red cape and he yells out to the person ‘’ does your power work if so can you fix mine the figure turns around and glares at tom with its big red glowing eyes t swiftly fly’s towards Tom grabs him and Swings him into the air and he falls on his back he tries to get up but then a boot hits Tom in the head and he is defenseless he is carried away to castle into the far hills of Admiralty Hills he is putting in a jail cell. Lator on he escapes and runs into vampires which his mother was talking about
They’re are two of them he fights them. He first charges into one of them and it blocks his attacks quickly . he keeps fighting he doesn’t give up and so on loll

Extend

So he finds a map in one of their pockets and goes to the cliff his father was pushed over. After 2 hours of frustrating looking he finds a cave and he walks through and he sees a man with a bear coat on he turns around and its his dad. They survive in the cave for a month and head back to the house and every1 is happy and this stories moral is that If you believe you can do it do it and you fail keep trying and trying to you do it .

Your skin glows like the grape, blossoms sweet as the rose in the purest hope of spring.
My heart follows your piano voice and leaps like a tiger at the whisper of your name.
The evening floats in on a great eagle wing.
I am comforted by your shoes that I carry into the twilight of lovebeams and hold next to my arm.
I am filled with hope that I may dry your tears of tenderness.
As my eyes falls from my shirt, it reminds me of your shyness.
In the quiet, I listen for the last whisper of the day.
My heated arm leaps to my shirt. I wait in the moonlight for your secret joy so that we may jump as one, arm to arm, in search of the magnificient purple and mystical love of love.

theres a generator of poems and this is what i came up with lol

Pretty sure he is but I want to get an opinion on this before I start calling him one.To start with,he’s an alcoholic and a smoker,drinks by the gallon, smokes like a chimney.He goes to strip joints during his free time and ends up getting kicked out of them for getting to frisky. He also tends to get into a lot fights and he usually starts them.He
works for an organization that dedicates itself to fight crime.He works
there not because he wishes to do good but to have a good excuse
to bash people’s heads in and get away with it.

His cousin is a wealthy con-artist and at times when his cousin needs a helping hand in a scam he’ll help and keep quiet as long as he gets some benefit out of it.Yet this partnership sours once his
success as an officer makes him even richer than his cousin.In a fit
of jealously,his cousin tricks him into chasing after bomb that didn’t
even exist and instead was generator that powered the city in front of everyone exposing the brute that he truly was,making his cousin look like a hero because he tired to stop him.Back on top again,his cousin tries to take over the city by making my character look even more of
a menace than he truly is.Eventually,my character stops this charade
but not to save people from blindly worshiping a con man but to get
back at his cousin for manipulating him.

So,what do you say?Is he an antihero or something else?

Random Hold were a cool UK band that existed in the late 70’s-early 80’s. They sort of had one foot stuck in 70s progressive rock, and the other foot in the late 70s new wave thing I guess…
The prog connection here is of course bassist ‘Bill MacCormick’, who had played with the Canterbury style prog band ‘Quiet Sun’, as well as with ‘Phil Manzanera’s ‘801′ of Roxy Music fame.
Bills solid bass lines really give this band a great sound.
Van der Graff Generator’ frontman Peter Hammill produced their first album, ‘The View From Here’ in 1980.
The vocalist name is Random Hold, and at times he reminds me of slightly more masculine Brian Eno, Lol…
I thought I’d share this band with you guys, and figured fans of Roxy Music might enjoy them, as the influence is apparent.
What are thoughts…do you like them?

Hey SKY…glad you liked them. I was thinking of mentioning David Rhodes, David Ferguson, and Pete Phipps…but I’m not writing a bio…Lol…not quite anyways
David V – Thanks! As you know, one of the best things about this section is being able to share music with one another…and I’ve always loved doing that!

Ok, so I am a thirteen year old environmentalist and i have my goal set in life. To create a vehicle for everyone that runs on electricity. I love electric cars and i have drove one before. There quiet and slick. I have plans for one already and I am an eighth grader whiz. I am very interested in this field but i need some information. I would like to start actually building a car either in the summer, or a year or two from now. But before i get into that i am going to ask about school.

School:

should i take Earth Science or Biology? What subject would prepare me better for all of this.
i am in algebra one and take geometry next year
i have wood chop next marking period and we build an air car (tiny compressed air though)
Should i go to a new jersey vocational school in the future?
what should i Base my classes and electives around?
any good colleges after high school (thinking ahead)

I also would like some incite on your experiences with electric cars, any thing is good.

The actual cars now.

first, am i to young to start this journey?
is this a good thing to do and am i going to enjoy it?

now about this car again…

material: titanium body and plastic roof
titanium is stronger than steal but lighter than aluminum
plastic roof will be explained faster
(is titanium too expensive? an alternatives?)
Speed: 40mph
(just for now but eventually i would progress)
windows lexiglas
(light and durable, super strong kind)
range: 20-30miles
(more is great but its a start)

mirrors, windshield wipers, up and down windows, fits at least two people, doors, small front that doesn’t extend out like i.c.e. cars, just simple for now but it will progress as i get older and more intelligent. and we need a radio

parts being used:

building a motor and system is a lot of work, time, and money. So i figured that i could buy a commercial one.
wheels, not too heavy but not too ugly
solar cells on top of the car that feed electricity to the batteries, evergreen
batteries? any idea what is readily available and cheap?
budget? what should my budget be?
motor and axel? and ideas?

this needs a lot more work as you can see, but i am determined to create a street legal electric car. I was looking around for solar ev’s and came across this one. should i buy this kit and transform it into what i could see? this comes with most of what i need.

please share your incite, i do have a few more plans for this car, but they are very complex. email me if you would like to talk or shed some light on the situation.

WOULD THIS WORK?
would my idea work or would it way the car down too much adn make it slow and heavy?

the car creates its own energy like the Chevy volt but does not give off pollution.
Using the Faraday effect, i would turn the axle into a generator. The axel would be magnetic or made with magnets and a large spoil of wire would be placed around it. as you drive and the axle spins that spins the magnets, this could potentially charge the batteries.

^^^^^would this work? too heavy? to small? not enough energy?

Thank you for your time and thanks for reading this!

i am serious and any good programs or books to use? and any educational things that i can use.

i am 15 and was given this project, i have to write a chapter as to how i know the answer to a question on who wants to be a millionaire like slumdog millionaire, i have not finished but have started with a flash back so far so good?….

Chapter 4
Hide and save.

I could hear the silence eroding up the walls, capturing everything within its nothingness. The only sound that filled the room was the deep and constant humming of a generator; I could almost hear the electricity dance in the box and fill the room with their tiny steps. Whilst I imagined this small escapade, a giggle escaped my lips. It cut the eerie quiet like an arrow piercing the air.
Rapidly, the feeling of entrapment overwhelmed me, the small laugh carried through the thick darkness echoing off any object, I felt like I was being watched. The silent lost in the pure black of the room.
The ropes that held me tight to a wooden chair felt like an impenetrable cage of restriction. My mind began weaving blood thirsty torture scenes in my head. I shivered with pure fear. I slowed my breathing hoping to calm myself, I stared into the dark and waited while the silence to creep back in.

Where was he? Arthur was supposedly meant to find me and save me, why did I always agree to play this stupid game? I presume that it was the thrill of feeling like I was on an adventure and awaiting my hero. The game was an advanced game of hide and seek, my brother Jamie would hide me and Arthur would seek me; or as I liked to put it save me. The thought of Arthur running like a thief in the night to save me brang on a daydream of him and me adventuring through a promised land seeking treasure, and him always saving me when I was in trouble. I sat in awe.
“Aislinn! Ash?” the recognition hit me, he had found me. Yes!
“Art? Is that you? Please say it is” I knew it was him he was the only person who ever called me Ash, as I called him Art.
“Of course it’s me, I’m the hero remember, who always finds you and always saves you” I could hear the smile forming n his lips and the slight roll of his electric blue eyes.
“Well hurry, I’m getting pretty freaked sitting tied up in the dark!” I raised my voice.
“Jamie tied you up this time? Man, he is getting more and more serious with this game” slight surprise filled his voice as he cut my ropes with a pocket knife.

After freeing me Arthur lead me outside I dropped to the ground staring at the sun whilst pulling out clumps of grass, “Freedom!” I yelled exaggerating.
“One day I will ask Jamie to hide me, and you, Ash will try to find me. Then you can tell me you would rather seek than hide” his voice became serious, his eyes however still remained a warm blue flame.

It was a Beautiful day on a sunday evening and i was stuck cleaning dishes in the kitchen at DQ. Many people don’t have their first job till their 16 years old but i was 15 years old and working as a Generator at DQ. I thought this whole experience would be nice because i would get real money not those five dollars allowance i received monthly from my mother. I did not mind laboring my body for 5.15 an hour because my body was in pain but my mind was in my money and my money on my mind.

When i decided i wanted a job was when i was in my English class at Elsi High school.I was talking to the most Beautiful girl named Cindy, she was every guy’s dream; she was funny, nice and out going attitude, but most important she was so Beautiful she made pigs fly.
Me and Cindy decide to go on a date on saturday night but she expected me to pick her up and take her to the movies and i was fine till my mother did not want to lend me the money. No money meant no date and no date meant no Cindy for me. On that saturday Cindy was at the movies but not with me but with some other man and that hurt deep because i was home and had nothing to do but fantasize what could had happened with me and Cindy,so i decide it was time for me to start having my own in dependency but most of all my own money.

Most people expect their mother to be supportive about their son getting their first job but when i told my mother she laugh so hard she made angels cried.Basically my mother told me i was too unresponsible to hold a job; just beacuse i forget to take the trash out sometimes and i also forget to feed my dog for about a week it don’t mean i am inresponsible. I realise even if i am "inresponsible" this time i’m getting payed and that will make me responsible.
It was a sunday morning around 6 A.M and i woke up, took a shower, ate an apple because i was running late for my first day of work at Dq.I arrived ten minues late to work and i did not expect my boss to get mad but she was so steamed that she ask several times that day if i really wanted my job. My schedule was from 7:30 A.M to 6:30 P.M and i was happy because the more hours i get the more money in my pay check. I was actully kind of execited to learn how to make ice cream but i was so terrible at it that my main task were sweep the floor, take the trash out, in other words i was the generator of the store. There was nothing much to do and i thougth i could deal with that but after three hours of just standing in the back room doing nothing and the place was so quiet i think i started to hear rats chatting about girl issues.

The clock hit the 7:30 P.M mark and i was so happy the i had a smile worth a million dollars.When i arrived home my mother told that i look stressed out and that she thought that if i continue like this my grades would drop and she was right because i didn’t feel like doing anything afterwards. Monday morning came and i went to school and got out and i decide to not show up at work ever becasue i did not have the will to do school and work. I had only worked one day but to me that day was an enternity of hell with fire and annoying customers asking for ice cream.
I realize i learned many things about my self. First i learn that there is a time for everything and me being 15 years old is not the time for a job beacuse i’m not matured enough. i learn not to rush into things. Secondly i learn that you should not change yourself for anybody especially for a girl beacuse she’s not worth your time. i also learn that wisdom with age and that most of the time parents have lived their children’s experiences and try to warn them but their too unmauterd.
So it has been a great first job experience to me. I will try to prepare myself for when the time comes, i will be ready. Next time i will flow with the pattern.

Please only answers from licensed heating and plumbing professionals! Every year for the last 3 my local gas company comes out to light the pilot on my wall furnace and says there is a yellow amber to it. I tell my landlord, he never calls a professional. He looks at it and then lights it. The last 2 years I have been getting unexplained expisodes of violent vomiting, diahreah, nausea and migrain, elevated blood pressure. it lasts about 8 hours each time and I end up in ER. I have had a total of 4 ER visits with no explanation to these episodes. Just before summer began I had my pilot turned off and also the the stove pilot. It generates alot of unwanted heat and I use a microwave. I realized today that I haven’t had an episode since I turned off the stove and furnace about 5 months. I had the gas co come out because cold season is about to start. This year the gas co decides not to turn on the pilot and says the same thing about the glow and notes a possible fire box issue. My Landlord checks it and decides to replace the generator. I haven’t used it yet, but do notice that it is quiet compared to before the replacement. It use have the sound of a flame constantly.

Could I have had carbon monoxide posoining or illness due to the stove or furnace? What are the symptoms? Should I have the gas company back out and or call a licensed heating and plumbing guy to check it myself? I am very nervous about this.

Thank you for your professional opinion in advance!
Thank you everyone your advice is eye opening! I am wondering although I am not using the furnace and it is in the off position if I shouldn’t turn off the pilot as well?

This is a little something i’ve been working on. i know the idea is a but played out, but i just wanted to try it out. Please read it and give any suggestions that might help

“Ah, Doctor, I was just finishing up here!” said the woman. She was wearing a white lab coat and had her hair tied up in a bun. The doctor noticed that bags under her eyes. “You haven’t been sleeping at all, have you?” said a man. He was in his mid-forties, grey hair, and stern face. The man walked down the steps and took a look around. It was a laboratory. To his right were tables with bottled fluid. There were also many high-tech machines that constantly buzzed and beeped. To his left was even more equipment. But there was something else there. They were giant case-like tubes. The tubes reached from floor to the ceiling and have massive cables coming and out leading to something that resembled a power generator. The inside of the tube was filled with an orange substance. Floating inside was something, something unlike anything on earth. The man stepped up to the tube and gazed inside. “Has the subject shown any sign of mental activity?” he asked still gazing inside. “We thought there was a spike earlier, but it turned out to be a false alarm.”
What is it that you’re doing? The man thought to himself. The woman, who was sitting at a computer, suddenly looked at her screen. She began typing furiously.
“Dr Cavil! Look at this!” The doctor came to where she was.
“Wha…” he began, and she pointed at the screen. At first there was nothing there but a single line. Then, many spikes began appearing, thousands of them by the second. So it’s finally awake He thought. “Initiate emergency procedures. Begin draining the hyrdo components. On my count, maximize generator power!” He commanded. There was a thud sound that came from behind. Dr. Cavil looked back and saw nothing but the lights from the floor panels. Thud. There it was again. He scanned the room. It hit him. The sound was coming from the case. Another thud, then the sound of cracking glass. The doctor stepped forward. Damn, the glass is cracking! “Initiate Deco Red! Insert the magnesium NOW! He shouted and hurried to the case. “Initiating Deco Red now. Inserting the magnesium.” But it was too late. The pressure of the orange substance forced the crack wider until it burst. Its contents spilled out onto the floor, preventing any light from getting through. Then, what was floating inside stepped out. What have we created? Dr. Cavil asked himself. In the following moment, he was torn to sheds.

I work to long to be getting paid this low wages thought the security guard. He was standing next to a set of Double doors with steel hinges that shined from the ceiling lights. It was quiet in the corridor. There wasn’t a lot to do down there. Whirring and buzzing could be heard from the other side of the doors. The guard looked at the monitor in front of him and saw that someone was coming. Dr. Cavil rounded the corner and came down the corridor. “Dr.Cavil!” said the guard while swiveling in his chair to face the doctor. “Is Ms. Ashwood still in there?” he asked. “Yeah, been in there for a while. I knocked to see if you she was ok, and she said she was fine.”
“I see.” He said. The doctor moved to the doors and they slid open without a sound.
He stepped in and the doors shut again. Returning to his monitors, he watched the empty hallways for while. Then there was a thud. And then came the sound of glass shattering. The guard stood up and rapped the door, “Everything ok in there, Dr. Cavil?”
No response.
He banged again
“Dr. Cavil?!”
Still no response. Slowly, the guard took the pistol from his side and opened the door.
There was blood everywhere, on the walls, on the floor. The equipment was fried. Cautiously, he stepped in-side. “Dr. Cavil…?” Something moved in the shadows. “Who’s there???” It moved again. “Show yourself” he said raising his weapon. Whatever it was, it hurried down the edge of the lab and through the doors. In the brief moment, when the light was on it, the guard realized it wasn’t a who, but rather a what.
Quiet.
That’s what it was like in the small cabin. A bunk bed to the left, and a table with a lamp to the right. The man lying in bed had his hands behind his head was lost in thought. His face looked as if he was in pain. In his mind, flashbacks reeled: A dark room, a chair in the center. A man was in the chair. His face was covered in blood and sweat. The person seemed to call out to him. Help me, help me. The man started to fade and get farther and farther away…
He shook his head. Reaching for the cloth on the bedside table, he got up and wiped his face. That’s the third time this week, he thought. He got up and looked around. I really should clean this place up. The floor was littered with various items ranging from a yogurt cup to a laptop computer. He bent down and picked up name tag that read Kurt Mendez, Head of Defense and Protection. He held it in his hand and stared. Why are we even here…in a place like this? He thought, It’s not like anyway would want to come here. Little did he know that his purpose was not to protect them from outside intrusions, but to protect them from what was inside…
“Sir, the press is outside…again. They refuse to leave. What should I tell them?” An important man in an expensive suit said this. He walked toward another man sitting behind a desk. Behind him, floor to ceiling windows looked out onto
